I apologize I've been gone far too long but now I'm back and here to stay. I was meaning to fix all the chapters that have some sever grammatical mistake but inspiration has struck and I cant let it go. I will be, as days go amending the problems from chapter 1-14 to be error free. Also I may be in a need of a Beta reader please let me know if anyone wishes to be mine. 3 love you all hope you all are blessed and well. (editing is still not done. You were warned)

Intensity

That night Artemis felt more insecure than ever. She was mentally beating herself up at the end of the night while in bed.

The threat in Roys voice and her dad playing manipulating games during her almost most vulnerable state of both mind and body.

Aghh today was not my day. Red arrow, Chesier, hey they kissed and still they think I'm not the one to be not trusted puff, and Wally just had to make my communicator his souvenir! Like I can't feel any worse. People don't go around saying nice things then to just be so cold I know I deserved it but I screwed up, and the best part was dad can he just not! Like whatever I am a hero!

However there was a but and what if at the back of her head. She thought about talking to her mom but given her current state she didn't want to worry her. Green Oliver and batman would help but that would just make them keep a closer eye on her but still the last thing she needs is Robin Hood and a bat on her shoulder.

More than that She feared her friends knowing the truth, if her friends see her as anything less then what she is. What would happen if they learn the truth about her family tree. She was scared of being left alone not that she was weak but the feeling sucks. Friends who were now like a family she had a responsibility, to do her best, and do what is right, and to do her.

To distract herself from thinking too much Artimes plugged her headphones in turing the iPod on and started listen to loud rock music (Aren't alright by Off springs) thinking can't let what others/ say or do get to me I need to be stronger better and earn Wally's and the teams trust back.

The next morning, Artemis went out for run to clear her head a bit before the sun came up. She ran more then she normally would irritated, more exhausted she was. She slowed down hands on her hip bone just a little bent over catching her breath, breathing in heavy she took of her head phones and just looked around to see any stores open. Just a little ahead and across the streets was a convince store.

She made her way wiping the sweat off her face only to feel that her clothes had already quite a lot of sweat from her body while she was running. She lowered the zip of her hood jacket to reveal a white T letting her hoodie down. Then she felt the sweat in her hair chill up a little making her alert.

Roaming around the store a little since no one was there might as well check out the cosmetics section feeling a little to embarrass to when other people are around. Lucky for Miss Martian she can morph to whatever then there is Zatana she has some nice brand of cosmetics guess being in showbiz with Zatara has given her the early practice sense of fashion and make up, Helps having your dad on the same side as you. She sighs...

Picking up a light shade of red gloss, Artemis made her way to the refreshment, picking out 2 bottles of water one for now and the other for later and cup noodles. Filling it with hot water at the store, placing it on the high table with a view on the outside street. Artemis waited for about a good 5-10 minutes before she started eating. She couldn't help but noticed kids running to catch the bus with there parents behind, how young and innocent the kids looked

"hum. This is nice colour but I think a darker one would be you." A man in dark jeans and white T under a dark jacket said only to have his face hidden beneath his plain black cap he seemed about 17-18-ish confused Artemis tries to see who is this weird guy talking to her like he has known her like almost forever. "who is it for a boy" there u see a smile on his face as he slowly to.. "did u have the talk with dear old dady" reveal his face.

Gasp..its Derrick Coe (black spider)

"I wonder if it's that speedy kid, little red bird, fish boy, or the little tic" he said the last one with a bit of hate

"tick…u are just upset that he kick your web " Artemis said with a bit of a smirk getting back to eating her noodles "what is it…. Why are you here?" she asked straight and cold.

"oh it you, im here cuz I want you your dad wants you to join the shadows" he said getting a little closer Artemis complete ignored his approach like it meant nothing to her but picked up the lip stick she snatched away, getting up putting it in her pocket and just drinking the rest of the soup straight from the bowl, too quickly finish up and leave.

"well too bad im not a criminal, yeah I might be the daughter but im not. So let me just make this clear for you and dad im not leaving my team nor am I joining the shadow!' she say this quick hard and straight any other normal person would back away but as Artemis brushed pass him he grabbed her arm and held on tight just get closer to whisper in her ear

"you can't run from the shadows" staring at her with a mischievous smile on her face. Before Artemis could fight with him to let go he released her walking back wards out the store fixing his cap to hid his eyes but not the smirk, he disappeared behind a few people walking in between them.

I wont I have changed im with the young justice with the team doing something that I be proud of something that one day every child parent would be proud of. Ha but not my dad. I will change my life not make the same as my mom and dad, walking back to her place having her second water bottle she looks at her watch to find she still has time to kill before she head to mount justice might as well hit up her old friends from Gotham north.
